On Thursday, the Los Angeles Lakers will fight it out against the Golden State Warriors in a Western Conference playoff contest at 9:00 p.m. ET at Chase Center. The Warriors are expected to win, but seeing as the odds didn’t stop the Lakers this last game, maybe the squad has another upset up their sleeve.
On Tuesday, even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, Los Angeles beat Golden State 117-112. The win made it back-to-back wins for the Lakers. Anthony Davis had a dynamite game for the Lakers, dropping a double-double on 30 points and 23 rebounds. Davis has now blocked at least two shots the last 15 times he’s played.
Even though they won, the Lakers should consider staying close to the rim since the team only made six three-pointers. The Warriors, on the other hand, didn’t have the same issue and earned 21.
